  1. Samba Server plugin

    I'd love to see a Samba Server plugin for Solid Explorer, similar to the FTP Server plugin, which makes the Android device itself act as a Samba server. This would make it easy and convenient to connect to the device from a PC or Mac, and even to map the device to the PC as a Windows drive letter (ie. network folder). This would be even more convenient than FTP, for sharing files to and from the Android device.

    There was an Android app called SambaDroid which did exactly this, but it doesn't work on the latest versions of Android…

  5. Pixel C, Android N - Access Denied and crash when accessing menu

    Hi there, apologies for not using the in app bug report but it crashes before I can get there. I also appreciate that I'm on the Android beta so I'm not expecting a fix before official release.

    On opening SE, the left window is blank, just showing "Access denied". Settings and side menu are okay but tapping on the More Options (three dots) icon causes it to stop straight away.

    I've restarted the tablet and reinstalled the app but the behaviour is consistent.

  6. SMB files can't be deleted

    I'm using SMB to play video, after closing the third party player, the "steaming" notification is also gone, then I try to delete this video file, it can't be deleted.

    Error is "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.".

    This error is also happened on image file, I don't need to open the image file, the snapshot is displayed on where the file icon is, it also can't be deleted when I try to delete it.

    I'm using another file manager named FX, it works without any problem.

  8. 'Open file with....' Option not working

    I like the app, but I really hate that I don't have the option to open files or share them with a lot of my apps. Every free(!) File manager lets me open/share my files with any app supporting it, but solid explorer is the only exception.

    For example, every time I want to open/restore my bitcoin wallet, I have to install a free file manager that lets me do that.
    I don't mind if I have to pay a buck for otg or mega plugin, I know you have to make a living. But to install two sperate file…

  10. media on SMB not playing

    I just got my Galaxy s7 and I am no longer able to play video files from an smb share using SE regardless of the video app i select.

    I can open smb shared video files via SE on my Galaxy s5.

    I was to use the built in smb connection in bs player on the Galaxy s7 successfully.

    Perhaps there is an issue with the SE streaming server on Marshmallow or this device.

  11. streaming problems with versions post 2.1.7

    Keep forgetting about this problem and update only to end up reinstalling 2.1.7.

    When watching HD films steamed from my NAS drive they freeze often and I note that when trying to get it going again by sliding the bar it crashes mx player. This happens less if I switch to SW decoder but it still happens.

    The problem first appeared worth 2.1.10. I gave up on that and went back to 2.1.7 and the problem went away. Forgetting about this I updated the other day to 2.1.12 and it started to happen again, so I guess I'm going to…

  17. Shield K1 Tablet Marshmallow - Cannot copy files onto SD Card

    5.1.1 it worked fine. As soon as I upgraded to Marshmallow it stopped working.

    I can't copy files from anywhere else onto the SD Card. I can create folders. I can delete files. It appears as though other apps can create stuff on the SD Card, but I cannot use Solid Explorer to copy files onto the SD Card. I have 'granted' permissions to the root of the SD card over and over again after countless formats of the card (ext3, NTFS) and uninstalls and reinstalls.

    Any idea what's going on? It's almost as though whatever file gets 'tweaked' to…

  18. SDK for third-party plugins

    Hey,

    I am currently checking out your app and really like it so far.

    After a bit of searching I read on reddit and the old support page, that there is already a public API/SDK for storage plugins in development.

    Therefore I would like to know the status of this, is it still planned?

  20. Permissions r/w

    I paid for this app because it's really good, but i'm really sorry because don't have permissions of read and write on the internal storage, in few words not allow me erase anything of the internal storage of my smartphone (ZTE Blade v6) and I do not think the problem is on my device, really i think this "bug" should corrected NOW!
    Sorry but my English ✌
